Posted in thread: Input Needed to increase body on 03-15-2016 at 03:06 PMTry a shorter mash period. You may be losing a little heat during that long of a mash and
giving the beta amylase the edge on breaking down the dextrines you need for the fuller body.
The other factor...

Posted in thread: Input Needed to increase body on 03-14-2016 at 11:02 PMI'm a fairly experienced brewer and unfortunately feel like I've become pretty complacent with
my process... hence this ask.Pretty much all of my brews end up with a pretty consistently low

Posted in thread: Southern Tier Pumking Clone?? on 06-29-2013 at 01:29 PMHey,I realize that this topic hasn't been posted on in a while, but with fall right around the
corner, you know people are going to be thinking Pumking Clone. Several posters throughout the

Posted in thread: 5 months... Still fermenting? on 02-03-2013 at 08:35 PMMakes sense! I'll check the gravity pronto.As for pressure fluctuations, just so I can
